During the second Season 2 trailer for “Supergirl”, one of the bystanders rescued by Superman exclaims, “We’re moving back to Gotham”. Upon hearing that fans automatically leaped to the conclusion that Batman was confirmed in this universe and that we might see a crossover with the Dark Knight in Season 2. That’s not the case according to the show’s executive producer Ali Adler.

“We have this beautiful history with DC, and I like that we get to borrow from this amazing, wonderful canon that we have. I feel like we have our hands full with the crossover we’re shooting right now,” Adler told TVline.com, referring to the four-way crossover between Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow, which pits the shows’ heroes against the dreaded Dominators. “I think people will be satisfied with how much crossover they’re getting this season.”

Don’t forget there is no Star City/Arrow in Supergirl’s universe. So the duplication you’re talking about might not be much of an issue since I think the crossover events will also be multiple universe events.

I don’t expect Batman to show up on Supergirl – although you never know about Batgirl or Batwoman – but even if he does it wouldn’t have much bearing on the Arrowverse.
